CFSmart Program
The CFSmart education program is an online tool with a range of educational resources about CF for teachers and educators. The resources include free online learning modules and downloadable resources to support children with CF in the school or early childhood environment.
Online Learning
If you would like your child’s teachers or educators to understand more about CF, our online learning modules are a perfect place to start. They cover a range of topics related to CF, including practical advice for supporting your child with CF in the classroom/daycare.
Our modules are designed to:
- Enable children with CF to integrate within the normal schooling/daycare environment and achieve educational milestones.
- Provide information about CF to teachers, educators and other staff.
- Educate classmates to promote CF awareness and understanding.
Educators can go to www.cfsmart.org.au to complete our free online learning modules.
CF Student Action Plan
Our Education Coordinator can work with parents to put together a tailored CF Action Plan which details the individual needs of your child while at school/day care. The plan covers infection control, respiratory, nutrition and digestion, dehydration, medication, exercise and other as required.
To develop a CF Student Action Plan, contact our Education Coordinator Sharon on sharon.dewar@cfwa.org.au or phone 08 6224 4100.
School Management Plan
The school management plan is designed as a general guide in the management of students with CF at school. It has been developed in line with best practice guidelines and should be incorporated in the development of school policy and procedure. This, along with a tailored CF Action Plan can be provided to your child’s school/day care.
To develop a School Management Plan, contact our Education Coordinator Sharon on sharon.dewar@cfwa.org.au or phone 08 6224 4100.
Starting School with CF
We host an annual Early Learning Night each November for parents whose children are about to start daycare or kindy/pre-primary. It covers information about how to collaborate with the school, preparing your child and tips that have worked for others. For more information about this event, contact sharon.dewar@cfwa.org.au.
